is there a "wth is that noise" section?...
the sound is a rhythmic whoompwhoompwhoomp coming from the front, quite possibly the front right. if i drive slow its a long whoomp. faster i go, the faster the whoomps(science!)
- sound intensifies when 4wd is engaged and after i take my foot off the gas.
- dont hear it when im making a sharp turn into a parking spot.
- i dont think its tire noise cause another tire is driving me insane.
- was present when front drive shaft was removed.
there is also a squeak that comes and goes. consistently audible at 35mph, on and off after that speed. goes away when i brake but whoomp is still there till i come to a stop. i lifted the front and spun both wheels and they turned smoothly. the squeak is coming from the right wheel and consistently squeaked in same location after a full turn.
- car does not pull when brake applied
- steering wheel does not wobble when brake applied
i ll eventually take it to mechanic but wanna know if anyone else has had a similar sound and if so how much i ll be spending on repairs this holiday season... thoughts other than get a new jeep?
